Ioana Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 (edited) Everybody does their year-end charts at the moment, so I was wondering what your top tracks of 2008 have been. Make it a top 10,a top 20 ...whatever you wish, I'm just curious what songs defined your year, what songs were stuck in your head Edited December 22, 2008 by Ioana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnnaMariaPetra Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Viva la Vida I was never much into Coldplay, I can honestly say I don't (or rather didn't) know any other songs of them, but when I heard Viva la Vida.... It is such a powerful song with undoubtely a definite meaning (which I haven't discovered yet). It is on my MP3 now, right after LICM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mandilambi Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 The song "If It Kills Me" by Jason Mraz pretty much defines my life over this year, but particularly the last couple of months. Every other song I could mention would just be favorites, but that song has very special meaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marianne84 Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 (edited) Hmm... All songs by the Palladium guys, even though they didn't get to release the album - of which I have a promo copy, my precious! Holes by The Midway State. Not the title song alone - the whole album! Erm... All five Rufus Wainwright's studio albums. I got them in January. Mika hasn't been such a big part in my life this year although I saw him three times in Feb. But I haven't gotten anything new from him this year, so that's why. Then again Love Today is always stuck in my head so I say that one. One song by Toto in particular: Africa. I've heard it so many times this year and it brought back good memories from the past. Everything Gerard Butler and Emmy Rossum sang in The Phantom of the Opera. Johnny Depp in Sweeney Todd. The original score from the Disney film Beauty and the Beast. Edited December 22, 2008 by Marianne84 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superstar Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 I don't know if I could pick favorite tracks...but there have been some albums that have outlined my year.... The Flying Club Cup - Beirut Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes Sun Giant [EP] - Fleet Foxes Odelay - Beck Oracular Spectacular - MGMT The Crane Wife - The Decemberists and most of all...

Blue Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Three names dominated my musical life in 2008: Sara Bareilles, Chris Chameleon and Vienna Teng. Needless to say that it's mainly their tracks I've been playing over and over and over and over. My most played track this year (according to Last.fm) is Vienna Teng - The Tower (now that song is addictive - and it's not even new, it's from 2002). Guess I will be back later with my 2008 single/track 'chart'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ioana Posted December 23, 2008 Author Share Posted December 23, 2008 (edited) ok so here are mine For me,it's been a definite Sara Bareilles year.It was about rediscovering her and even being lucky enough to catch her live. The tracks are in pretty much random order,except for the top5 1. Sara Bareilles - Gravity 2. Luke Juby - Album Sleeves and Eulogies 3. Sara Bareilles - Love Song 4. Chris Chameleon - Machine 5. Sara Bareilles/Ingrid Michaelson - Winter Song The rest are: Sia - Little Black Sandals Hot Chip - Ready for the Floor Estelle - American Boy Ting Tings - That's not my name Yelle - Je Veux Te voir (yes it's last year,but it's been around) Lady Gaga - Poker Face Lykke Li - Little Bit Sam Sparro - 21st Century Life Hercules and Love Affair - Blind Hercules and Love Affair - You belong ( Yes,it's really them! ) Jason Mraz - I'm Yours Alberto Beto Una - Angels in the Desert Kelly Rowland - Work It (Freemasons Remix) Roisin Murphy - You know me better Trail - City Yael Naim - New Soul Ultraviolet - Spin Like a DJ PCD - When I grow up and Madonna -Give it to me have been the tracks I've jogged to all spring and summer,so I can't exclude them,even if they're not masterpieces Katy Perry - Hot n Cold (Tho it was more really early this year,I've refused to listen to the album since the whole insanity) The Black Ghosts - It's your Touch and to those I could add at least 3 more of Luke's songs,but I guess you knew that Edited December 23, 2008 by Ioana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
